CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
SEPTEMBER 18, 2006
9A
CRAIG ELDRED, STREET AND UTILITIES SUPERVISOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
CONSTRUCTION OF A BRINE ADDITION TO THE SAND/SALT STORAGE
BUILDING AT THE CITY'S MAINTENANCE FACILITY.
Introduction
The purpose of this agenda is to consider approval of a resolution authorizing
construction of a brine addition to the sand/salt storage building at the City's
Maintenance Facility.
Historv
Because of its effectiveness in snow and ice control, the City has been
substituting brine (water salt mixture) in lieu of more traditional salt or sand and
sand mixtures. To do so, requires an area to make the solution.
The brine production unit is currently housed in the Maintenance Center
garage which eliminates the use of two parking stalls. As a result, City
equipment which should be stored inside is not. Construction plans were
proposed for the brine production addition which would utilize a stick frame
structure and a metal exterior and brick fa<;ade to enhance construction
features. The 2006 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) authorized
$15,000.00 for construction of the addition that would be completed by City
staff.
Current Circumstances
As part of preliminary design meetings with the Planning and Building
departments, it was determined the brine production addition would need to
meet more stringent industrial park design standards. These increased
standards changed the sidewall standards from metal and a brick fa<;ade to full
block walls, and changed a shingled roof to a standing metal seam roof
material.
Conclusion
The required design changes decreased the amount of work City staff could
complete and increased costs substantially.
Meeting the current construction standards for the city business park, the cost
for materials and construction for the walls and roof has more than doubled the
initial estimates.
Staff obtained quotes from several vendors for each portion of the addition.
The quotes for each area of the brine production addition are as follows:
